grandpa's hernia
This one needs to be written by Geep. Hopefully someone can let the Patriarch of the Bosque's (sorry Geep but you are the OLDEST) that he needs to read these blogs.
Bosques,
Since I am in The City and in the same "circle" as one of our most popular members, when asked my name I always respond Tony BOSQUE!!. The vast majority of people say, "Jack Bosque". Then of course they ask, "Which one are you?", meaning who/which Bosque was your father (sorry Dolores and Anne). Lately I have heard said, Tim Bosque the coach. Jack still gets the plurality of responses, but Tim is catching up. (I am referred to as "the little bosquet"--Thanks mike moriarity). Today, feb. 22 at Caesar's there was a reunion of SI (cherries), SH (where they are not taught math), and Roirdan (Mission with tuition). When one of the patrons introduced me as Jack's nephew, the guy said, "I thought that you were the football coach at Terra Linda" Now Jack and Tim are combined!!

acacia tree
Who remembers the huge acacia tree in the far back yard of Grandma's house?
We would climb it to the top except for me who is scared of hieghts. One day Tom and Peter tried to prove who was a better tree-climber. Tom went way up so Pete tried to follow. Of course, Pete being 5 years older and bigger than Tom put more weight on the upper and thinner branches. The highest branch he stood on (and did a Tarzan dance) promptly snapped and he bounced off a number of branches and limbs as he crashed unharmed, except for a cut lower leg, to the ground. I can see it now as if it just happend.

Grandpa & Grandma
Ted,
The picture that you put on this blog thing with J & A in the backyard of 1448 brought back memories. I'm sorry that you never met either of these two wonderful people.
Grandpa died on my 8th birthday, 8-12-65, and Grandma died four days, 4-5-67, before you were born. Once again, thanks for the pictures and setting up this blog thing. Oh, so many great memories.
Tony
